RAM frequently reverts to 2133 MHz instead of the desired 3000 MHz following a reset.

The sticks are located in slots 2 and 4, the ones that are grayed out. I understand—I had a lot going on and made a mistake.
It's normal, things can slip up. You might want to refresh your profile info. It's simple, but sometimes it's necessary.
the updated version is F2... released in 2018, I’m just hoping that’s true because it’s easy to just get a USB stick, drop the files in, update, and hope for the best... but the real issue is I can’t really recall doing this when I first got my PC. I bought it, overclocked the RAM, and it was running at 3000 MHz, no BIOS update back then—this was around 2018-2019. Also, @tkitch advised, “You don’t need to update your BIOS.” (And actually, with a Ryzen 2000, be extremely cautious. You might gain support for the 5000 series but lose compatibility with the 2000 series.) So I’m a bit worried about making more mistakes. I just wanted to clean up my PC—changed the thermal paste on CPU and GPU—but why did they reset my MOBO and mess up the RAM? I don’t have much experience with PCs.
Thanks for the update! It seems like the issue has been resolved. I’ve spent a lot of time on YouTube, listening to music on Spotify, and playing games—especially the demanding one, Days Gone (about 15 minutes). It’s using around 12 GB of storage on a 16 GB drive. So far, there are no crashes or blue screens, though I won’t push myself too hard since I don’t have many fans.
